Risk question - xVita - 06-30-2021

So
My girlfriend got a laptop from school for 6 months for the online school program.
After this ended (tomorrow) she has to give the laptop back to the school.
I took pictures from the SN, SID etc.

Now my question is: is it risky to try to refund this laptop with the serial number method?
The laptop is from Acer and fking good😅.

The laptop was sponsored by the school minister in our country and is going to be given to another student the next weeks or months.

It depends If the company takes It further by sending details about the warranty claim to Its rightful owner- being the school.

You'd need to use an account that has no association to yourself and your girlfriend, hence anyone could be responsible for the claim.

Alright, will try to box them after the school received it.

Sounds good.

It may never come to the point of what I've mentioned above, but I'm simply stating that the possibility exists. If you need more serials, let me know and I'll check those with sufficient warranty.
